Perfect for game days, lunchbox surprises, or a late-night snack, these Pizza Burritos are endlessly customizable and shockingly easy to make. The outside is crispy, the inside is melty, and they pair beautifully with your favorite dipping sauces. If you’re into food mashups that actually work, this one’s a winner.

What Kind of Tortillas Should I Use?

Flour tortillas are the best choice for pizza burritos. They’re pliable enough to roll without tearing and crisp up beautifully in the oven. Go for burrito-size if you want hearty portions, or smaller taco-size for kid-friendly or party servings. You can also use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if needed.

Ingredients for the Pizza Burritos

Tortillas – They wrap everything together and become golden and crispy when baked.

Mozzarella Cheese – Essential for that irresistible cheesy pull and classic pizza flavor.

Pepperoni – Adds a spicy, savory bite. You can swap in any of your favorite pizza toppings.

Pizza Sauce or Marinara – Brings moisture and that unmistakable Italian flavor punch.

Parmesan Cheese – Sprinkled on top for extra savory depth and a golden, cheesy crust.

Italian Seasoning or Dried Oregano – Enhances that classic pizzeria aroma.

Olive Oil or Butter (optional) – Brushed on the outside for a perfect crisp finish.


How To Make the Pizza Burritos

Step 1: Prep the Filling

Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of pizza sauce over the center of each. Leave a bit of space at the edges for rolling.

Step 2: Layer It Up

Add a generous handful of shredded mozzarella, a layer of pepperoni, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. You can add extras here like sliced olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

Step 3: Fold and Roll

Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up like a burrito. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Add Toppings

Brush each burrito lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle grated Parmesan and more Italian herbs on top for added crunch and flavor.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and crispy. Serve warm with extra marinara on the side.


How to Serve and Store Pizza Burritos

These pizza burritos are best served hot, right out of the oven. Slice them in half for a stunning cheese pull moment, and serve with warm marinara, ranch, or garlic butter for dipping.

To store leftovers, wrap them in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 8–10 minutes to restore that crispy exterior. They also freeze well: wrap individually and store for up to 2 months.

What to Serve With Pizza Burritos?
